Fusion 360, IMHO, is a slick and capable CAD tool. It absolutely does require a muscular machine but once you get used it and the space mouse, it's very intuitive and pleasing. There's a learning curve, of course, for any CAD system. It takes WEEKS of regular usage to get reasonably fluent and even then you'll get snagged with a "how do I?" problem regularly. The hardest part is unlearning bad habits. There's easy ways and hard ways to do things. Sometimes the hard way is initially more intuitive, but ends up costing effort and time. It's helpful, I think, to watch pros use it and see what they do. That's another good feature. It has a decent user community and there's lots of help available.
